"A Pleasant Surprise at Swagath, Hamilton My experience at Swagath in Hamilton, which I visited based on a friend's recommendation, was a delightful surprise. Initially, I was skeptical due to the images on Google that showed paper plates and cups, which made me hesitant to try this place. However, the actual restaurant setting was far from my expectations - it was a proper, well-arranged eatery with cozy booths and central tables, not a fast-food style setup as I had imagined. The culinary journey began right at our table with a serving of Rasam which instantly captivated us with its amazing flavor and spicy touch perfectly igniting our appetite. We started with an order of Onion Pakora for an appetizer, while my son opted for the Mysore Masala Dosai. My wife, adhering to a no-onion, no-garlic diet, found a helpful ally in our waitress, Preethi. Preethi's polite and cordial manner, combined with her extensive knowledge of the menu, made it easy to find suitable dishes. We settled on Lemon Rice and Puri Bhaji, both tailored to fit the dietary restrictions. The Lemon Rice was a standout, offering a subtle lemon flavor enhanced by a potent lemon pickle - a brilliant idea that allows diners to adjust the citrus intensity to their liking. The Mysore Masala Dosai was another highlight, perfectly crispy and accompanied by delightful Sambhar and Chutney. The Thali was awesome, featuring a variety of vegetables that were very much enjoyable, except for one that resembled a Maharashtrian dish I'm less fond of. I passed the spinach paneer to my son, preferring to savor the other elements of the Thali, including the fluffy puris and well-cooked rice. As for the Puri Bhaji (NONG), it was delicious in its own right, a testament to the kitchen's versatility and consideration for dietary needs. Preethi's service was exceptional, providing a comfortable, homely atmosphere that was both warm and down-to-earth. Overall, Swagath in Hamilton is a restaurant I would definitely revisit and highly recommend. It offers a combination of delicious food, accommodating service, and a comfortable dining environment that pleasantly contradicts any initial misconceptions."

"First time visit. I must say, it was an extremely disappointing experience. The quality was abysmal. We ordered Thali and they were tasteless and seemed like they had been sitting around for hours before being served. Even the restroom was in terrible condition, dirty and unkempt. Overall, I cannot give this restaurant anything more than a 1-star rating, and that's only because I can't give it zero stars."

"We had a great first experience!  The food was flavorful with generous portions and the service was very attentive and courteous; they appeared to be happy being there. And the ambiance is unparallel and unique to any other. It was like a rotunda with tall glass windows all around. It gives you a feeling of being in your sunroom at home. Since then, I have been there twice and equally enjoyed the gourmet food and atmosphere.  I definitely recommend you visit it once, you won't be disappointed."

"One standout feature of Swagath Gourmet is the use of high-quality ingredients. It's evident that the restaurant places great importance on sourcing fresh produce and incorporating it into their dishes. The vegetables are vibrant and full of flavor, while the spices and herbs are perfectly balanced to create a harmonious blend of tastes, the menu offers a variety of options that will satisfy even the most discerning palates."
